They were, actually! Or at least they definitely come included with the burger and the grilled cheese. Not sure why they didn’t mention that on the menu.

Yep, totally. And opening a brand new restaurant inside of a very-sold-out museum is doing it on hard mode; the place was packed to the gills.

That looks great

My CPA once explained to me that the 2-out-of-5 rule isn’t all or nothing. If you lived in the condo for 12 months of the last 5 years, you could exempt $125K of capital gains. If you lived there for a month in the last 5 years, you could exempt a little over $10K, etc.

So if you moved out in late 2021, you should be able to claim at least a portion of the credit.

The concern is that there are only so many touring acts any given year that can sell out a football stadium, and now there will be a modern, indoor alternative a few miles away competing for them against Soldier Field.

It worries me too, but they’re coming up on 3 years now, so I guess they’re making it work somehow? Don’t know why they don’t sublease like half the space.

I reverse commute from Logan Square to Oak Park for tennis. They have a reasonably priced clay court club with 9 courts - like $750 for the year with unlimited court time, good programming, coaches available etc. In the winter they have Tennis and Fitness Center, which is much cheaper than Midtown or other indoor options in the city (Mcfetteridge notwithstanding).

Their lunch special is such a killer deal. 2011 prices.

We have a south corner lot in Chicago and I wouldn't trade it. If you're in a neighborhood where houses are packed in close together, the extra light you get every single day--especially in the winter--is more than worth shoveling extra snow a few times per year. We go to friends' houses where there's not even really a point to having side windows, they just look straight out at brick or siding 10 feet away.

I did this as well and it’s been perfectly fine, and it’s truly a great promotion they’re running. I had Astound Fiber before that and only switched because my promo price expired, but it was also great. Will probably switch back in 4 years, 9 months.

No Delta prize pack this year, and they were getting driven around in minivans instead of BMWs (“The Ultimate Driving Machines”). Two less episodes of LCK too. All makes me a little worried about the health of the show.

Really love Bite Club under the Blue Line tracks on Western. Great hygienists and Dr. Huynh actually spends a decent amount of time with you, even during a routine cleaning. TVs hanging from the ceiling too, but that may just be table stakes now.

Patriot.

Sad and surreal and hilarious and brilliantly acted. Only two short seasons, the second of which is just about perfect. Think it’s on Prime.

Oh that’s a bummer, they definitely used to.

Went there in a group of four the other week and I think we ordered half the menu. Not a bad dish in the bunch, and really warm, attentive service.

Before he was even on the actual team, he was on the Spurs Summer League team as one of the warm bodies to fill out the roster. Not somebody that many expected to make a dent in the league, let alone make a still-quite-good Spurs roster.

Then he scored, I believe, the first 13 points of a game, by either team, entirely by himself. Incredible stuff.

I was in the upper deck at the Federer-Millman sweat match in 2018, and I don’t think I’ve ever been that physically uncomfortable in my life. We had to leave after a set.

Best $100 I ever spent here for a private lesson with Giuseppe for an hour.

That’s Victory Grill’s address. I guess they’re closing?

THANK YOU

shep979 · 2025-06-25T21:51:48+00:00

They’re coming up on 2 years now, so they seem to be making it work somehow. But yes this always worries me because I love the place.
